I have to confess to being (past tense) an MS flight sim pilot... Thought instrument flight was, well, just watching the instruments...
We went up into the base of cloud on probably my 7th or 8th lesson.
I took control. We began turning right. And kept turning right.... And in fact did a 90 degree turn at about 10 degrees of bank, and I was helpless!
Scary stuff.
Forever humbled, I have soloed and plan to keep up the flying as its been too long....
Oh my contribution:
Practice forced landings...
"Have you selected a field"
"Yep"
"Which one?" (About 300 feet)
"Er, that one"
"What this one here?" (Just disappearing under the nose)
"No, that one with the Land Rover"
"I have control" (Full power and nose up pretty sharpish)
